Five Costs Falling to Zero

The entire internet economy is actually just five specific costs dropping to zero.

It is not about complex new theories, it is simply what happens when friction disappears.

First, search costs vanished, so you can find anything instantly. Second,

copying digital goods like music or code became free. Third, distance stopped

mattering for information. But the wild part is the last two. Tracking and verification costs crashed.

That is why algorithms know your secrets, but also why you willingly get into a stranger's car

for an Uber. The rules of economics didn't change, the price tag just disappeared.
